Beware phishing scams in Amazon listings

The merchant will then contact you by email, claiming that it was all some kind of mistake and that the item is still available conveniently at a rather Amazon-esque link in their email. But that link, as you might suspect, is a fake, created to look like a legitimate Amazon payment site.
